PT Jobs in Louisiana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a pt in Louisiana?

To become a licensed physical therapist in Louisiana, you must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from a CAPTE-accredited program, pass the National Physical Therapy Examination administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy, and apply for licensure through the Louisiana Physical Therapy Board. The Board reviews educational credentials, exam scores, and a background check before issuing a license. Physical therapist assistants follow a separate licensure track through the same board.

How much do PTs make in Louisiana?

PTs in Louisiana earn a median of about $22,460 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $19,490 for the lowest 10% to over $30,070 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire pts in Louisiana?

Employers hiring pts in Louisiana right now include HiredFirst, GNC, and Stine, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Louisiana's largest health systems, long-term care networks, and outpatient rehabilitation groups account for the majority of consistent openings across the state.

Which Louisiana cities have the most pt jobs?

Shreveport, Covington, and New Orleans have the most pt openings in Louisiana. New Orleans leads because of its concentration of major academic medical centers and large outpatient networks, while Baton Rouge and Shreveport are anchored by regional health systems and growing suburban rehabilitation clinics that generate steady hiring volume outside the primary metro.

Are there remote pt jobs in Louisiana?

Yes, but they're rare. Physical therapy is a hands-on clinical role, so the large majority of positions require an on-site presence with patients. About 50% of pt openings tied to Louisiana are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in telehealth consultations, documentation review, or clinical education rather than direct patient care.

How can I get hired as a pt in Louisiana with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate residency programs, which Ochsner Health and LCMC Health run in orthopedic and neurological specialties for PTs who have just passed their licensure exam. Candidates without residency placement often start in home health or long-term care settings, which tend to have lower competition than acute care. Completing clinical rotations at Louisiana facilities during your DPT program builds local connections, and having your Louisiana Physical Therapy Board license in hand before you apply removes a common hiring barrier.

Where can I find and apply to pt jobs in Louisiana?

You can find and apply to pt jobs in Louisiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your background and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that match.
